Recommended Posts

This are my Pc Specs

 

 

Intel Core i5 - 3450S CPU @ 2.80GHz (4CPU's), ~2.8GHz

8GB DDR3 Ram

NVIDIA Geforce 615 (2GB).

1920x1080

 

I Don't Seem to get it.

It Overpasses the System Requirements.

Settings are not maxed but it still runs slow

installed patch is 1.0.4.0

Although patch 4 was generally considered to be the best at the time, I would put the most recent one on (7). You have a relatively newer PC and the latest one may be best for you.

 

Make sure you turn night shadows off completely - it is a massive resource hog, and even whilst I have most other settings maxed, I still turn these off. It doesn't add too much either to the look if other settings are good.

 

Have you tried the benchmarks and autoconfigure options?

You don't need to install any DLC to be able to install the 7th patch of the game. If you're still getting a bad performance, don't play maxed out. I have a good PC too and my gameplay is laggy sometimes too.

I Forgot to Add "It's NOT even Maxed Out"

I am downloading the patch right now.

I Need Some Help

When i play other games in 1920x1080 (my monitor's native resolution)

The Games Lags bad but when i decreased it to 1440x820 the game runs just fine (except for gta iv)

I Need Help with this please? sad.gif

Try experiementing with different settings.

 

As I say, turn Night Shadows off completely (that option will appear when you install patch seven).

 

Don't have any of the sliders above 50 (draw distance above this doesn't really add much for instance, but slows thing down).
